Nutrition plays a critical role in brain injury rehabilitation, yet it is often overlooked. Patients with neurological conditions have higher metabolic demands, altered swallowing function, and complex nutritional needs that can directly impact their recovery and long-term health.
In this webinar, Neurorehabilitation Dietitian Vishwa Ramnani will explore the nutritional challenges faced by individuals with brain injuries and the practical strategies case managers, solicitors, and healthcare professionals need to consider when supporting these clients.
Drawing on real-life case studies, Vishwa will highlight:
🔹 Why nutrition matters in brain injury rehabilitation – the physiological and cognitive impact of malnutrition.
🔹 Common nutritional challenges – dysphagia, appetite changes, behavioural barriers, and physical limitations.
🔹 Long-term considerations – from acute care to home-based rehabilitation, how to ensure sustained nutritional support.
🔹 Practical management strategies – how dietitians work within the MDT to optimise recovery and quality of life.
Attendees will leave better informed and more confident in identifying nutritional risks, advocating for appropriate interventions, and ensuring their clients receive the right support at every stage of their rehabilitation journey.
